The options are keep playing against men who identify as women or give up the sport you love. Acquiescence isn't consent. Many women will quietly walk away without making a fuss. The FA should never have put women and girls in the position of having to make a stand in the first place.

Sheffield women's football league have grouped together and refused to play another team for having a male player, who caused season ending injury to a young woman.
At last, stand up for yourselves collectively, only way to kick males out of womens sport Yay
You really do have an interest in the most obscure sport stories, don't you?
It'll blow your mind when you find out that Quadball is mixed gender and tough as f*ck.

It's not football though is it. These women have chosen to play football. Quadball is a made up sport based on Harry Potter.
Personally, I can't see why on earth women's teams have an issue with playing Rossington Main Ladies FC. Francesca fits in perfectly with no sign of any qualities that might make her potentially dangerous to other players*.
*apart from height, weight, build and muscle obviously.

My daughter and niece are taller and stronger then their peers.
Injuries happen. She isn't dangerous.

Something for the women on the opposing teams to decide, don't you think?

It's women's football, nothing odd.

Men have denser bones, hit, kick with far more force. Are generally much heavier, so carry far more kinetic energy.
The women have acknowledged they're psychological frightened to engage in tackling when men play in fear of injury

Is she also built like a brick shoothouse? Somehow I'm doubting it.

When all other things are equal, like weight, height, diet, training and support, elite men still outperform elite women in most physical sports. Otherwise the Mens and Womens records in the US and Europe would be much closer than they are. Of course some talented women will beat less talented men but it's clear that male puberty brings advantages that even talented women's innate natural ability and training cannot overcome. Which is why the likes of Lia Thomas and Laurel Hubbard Zoom up the ratings when they switch to the Women's class.
This is neither fair nor safe and it shouldn't be left up to girls and young women to give up their football for the FA to take action.

Isn’t all sport made up?
Did football somehow naturally evolve?

Sort of yes
Also yes. There are football type games going back for thousands of years.
The point is that if you want to play football, the rules have been developed such that there is a men's game and a ladies game. This seems entirely equitable as it is a very physical game and men are very physically different from women. Thus women get quite cross when transwomen want to join women's teams as they have a massive physical advantage which is potentially injurious as this case has demonstrated.
